I've reached the point now, in my relationship with Bon Jovi...

I used to love that Time Life advert for the poodle rock power ballads cd. I can no longer listen to any of the songs from the ad without singing the entire medley when it gets to the cut point of the song.

 

[Sadken]

I've been rocking Maneater by Nelly Furtado a hell of a lot lately.

'Owner of a Lonely Heart' & 'I wanna know what love is' are definite classics of the genre. Are they by the same band?

Yeah, what I really want is a compilation that inspires me like that

Try Maneater by Hall and Oates.

In fact go out and buy the Hall and Oates singles collection they were advertising for Fathers Day

Any love for Men at Work 'Down Under'?

'Owner of a Lonely Heart'

Both quite similar songs as it goes.

Bettie Davies Eyes played back to back with Dickie Davis Eyes is one of my favourites of an evening.

Ah, man, I fucking love that song and quite often sing "woooo-ah, here she comes..." or "watch out, boy, she'll chew you uuuuuuuuup" at random which I find all the funnier because none of my friends seem to have any clue what I'm referencing. Need new friends.

I love Bettie Davies Eyes and was gutted when it came on an advert recently because, again, I loved singing the chorus out loud at random and having people think I was a bit mental. Euuuurgh! Which now I commit it to black and white makes me sound like a Colin Hunt character! Great, I'm an arsehole. Fantastic.

First is by 'Yes', second is by 'Foreigner'. Honestly, kids these days...

For ages there was a sample on a Mylo track that was bugging the crap out of me - FINALLY worked out it was from Bettie Davies Eyes. Oh the relief!

Now, who's for some Pat Benatar?

 

[secretsquirrel]

Or (RIP) Laura Branigan?

Calling GLORIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

 

[DotCommunist]

Nick Kershaw FTW!

 

[secretsquirrel]

Compared to the majesty and sheer lung power of Pat n'Laura? Are you quite, quite mad?!

 

[secretsquirrel]

I've just had to go and download some Pat Benatar

...where I can no longer tell if I am listening to them ironically or genuinely enjoying their music.

It started out as a casual flirtation sort of thing, I'd stick a bit of Bon Jovi on my headphones as I was walking down the street cos I liked the contrast of listening to really bombastic hair rock whilst keeping a straight face and mingling with the miserabalites of London or thereabouts.

Then I listened to Blaze of Glory one day as the last song before I went into an exam to cheer me up and make me chuckle a bit to myself to allieviate the tension. I'm now listening to Bon Jovi quite a lot on my walks home.

I used to fucking hate Bon Jovi about ten years ago - their bullshit lyrics and big bombastic hair and all that and now I find myself listening to them and the likes of Journey probably about as much as I listen to hip hop these days, which has always been "my" genre.

Has anyone else had this sort of thing happen to them?

If you're not careful, you will love them aaaaal.......waaaaays.

 

[Sadken]

This thread has seriously worked out a good 17 times better than I could ever have hoped for.

The Bon Jovi punning aspect in particular

 

[Sadken]

Wow, I downloaded Foreigner's best of - Hot Blooded is just a step by step guide to fucking groupies!

 

[Belushi]

Now, who's for some Pat Benatar?

Just how great is Love is a Battlefield?

Heh, the shoulder action is my favourite bit

I think I've decided on my next PROD records

Mr FTC is a musical imbecile - not interested, hasn't a clue.

He's doing backstage security at a Bon Jovi gig at Ashton Gate tonight. His comment to me on the phone five minutes ago?

'I haven't a fucking clue what this Bon Jovi bloke looks like..........but if he doesn't have a bloody pass he's not getting in here!'

I'm sitting here grinning like a nutter at the thought of wee little blonde JBJ facing up to this big stroppy black bloke who wants his pass and wants it NOW
